Ever since Carlos Silva left a comment on my last post about this repository, I was left wondering if it wouldn’t be better to migrate my current VM to Scaleway. The price/specs seemed better and for the marginal difference of €1 I would get a dual-core virtual machine with 2GB of RAM and 50Gb of disk space.

Hoje chegaram os autocolantes que encomendei no Sticker Mule em dezembro, numa promoção em que o pack ficava a €1 e pouco. Com isto, já posso dizer que sou geek e o meu portátil ficou “lit af”. Só tenho pena que o pack não incluísse um autocolante do projeto GNU. Teria sido ouro sobre azul.
